  • The document does not state whether the applicant must be a pilot, engineer, technician, or other specific role.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

Work is restricted to the area where qualified labour is lacking, as certified in a letter from the aviation employer. Dependants may be included with a letter of responsibility, proof of relationship and proof of domicile; those over 18 must present a certificate of single status and certified studies. The official source does not state whether the holder may change employer.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The temporary residence permit is valid for six (6) years, and the foreigner may request permanent residence. For permanent residence, the same requirements are presented except for the criminal record certificate and the cheques. The official source does not state how the temporary permit is renewed.
